Alright, this is my last original event, based off of a throw-away diary comparison from the Silence in the Library. I was wondering if I should write the library, just because it doesn't seem very River to write it while the adventure is going on, but she can't really do it after. Let me know what you think!
Hello Sweetie,
Well nothing like some impending doom to make you reevaluate your life. Of course it wasn't even our doom. Which honestly might frighten me even more.
Tonight was supposed to be a rather simple evening out with my husband. You would whisk me away and I might finally wear that stupid dress of yours. (Though I probably wouldn't have anyways) Then all of the sudden something in the old girl explodes and we go through yet another crash landing. This time it was Earth, 4392, right in the middle of the great world war. The one fought against aliens, not those silly ones between humans in the 20th century.
Doctor it was awful. We just landed at one of the bloodiest battles in all of human history, the bone meadow, named because that was all you could see under the open sky. Just bones everywhere.
I've seen my fair share of horrible grotesque events, its just going to happen when you're a time travelling archaeologist. But only when they've been dead for a few hundred years have I seen so many pale white bones lying about. I honestly can't remember at the moment who they were fighting or who even won in the end. All I know is that life is so very fragile, and I hate having to be reminded of that.
You ran without a second thought. We were barely five steps outside the TARDIS, plenty to get a good look. But not nearly enough to meet people or begin to get invested in their problems. I would have put on a brave face if you wanted to continue on, because knowing your Sexy, she had a reason for bringing us there. You did such an un-you thing and turned us right back around as soon as you looked at me. I don't know if I should be thankful for that or guilty. I hate making you do things that you don't want to do.
When I'm with you, it's so easy to pretend that I am a Time Lady, that we are one and the same. But today just reminded me how painfully human I am. And how this is the last me you'll ever see. I get maybe 50 years, while you'll live on forever.
My love if you could do just one thing for me, don't let me grow old. I've honestly thought about it and I don't want to ever get too fragile to travel with you. I would rather die saving worlds or taking a laser than on my bed at Stormcage. I pray that never ever happens. And I pray that you can make this come true.
Until then,
Spoilers
